Sportsfan1999 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Posted June 7, 2019 Wow, good hire for coach mitchell!! He’s gotten that program going in the right direction!!! Quote
watup Posted June 10, 2019 Report Posted June 10, 2019 Another New HC for boys basketball, seems like every year for past 4 or 5 yrs HF gets a new HC each year. Good move for Coach Pace! Quote

whsalum Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 So would this be considered a good career move ? Maybe it cuts down on the hours if Coach Pace doesn't have to coach Football or Track but Lumbertons underclass programs weren't real strong. I don't know what's going on at HF. I can remember not to many years ago they were respectable. Quote
HFHorns23 Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 It is even worse then 6 in eleven years. 18-19 Pace, 17-18 Jacks, 16-17 Byerly, 15-16 Holder, 14-15 Bryant, 13-14 Cantor, 12-13 Collins, 11-12 Decello (half way through year was removed) Neal took over, 10-11 Richards. Before all of that I am not 100% sure but that is 10 coaches in 9 years. The kids in HF are good kids and yes there is some talent coming up for sure. The kids do not deserve this and they are the ones that get hurt by this. I wish Pace the best of luck as I have wished everyone that has left the same. I sure hope our school board and AD finds a great coach to come in and stay for 4 to 5 years at least. Quote
whsalum Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Good lord, gonna be tough to make a good hire with that history. Quote

Good kids - decent talent - just need a coach that will stay a few years and be consistent with the program. I think they can compete in that district with they right system and consistency. The board and AD need to figure out why coaches leave or why good coaches decide to take other jobs over this one. I know it was kinda strange a couple years ago when they had some solid applicants and then decided to move Jacks over instead of interviewing. Quote
stevenash Posted June 12, 2019 Report Posted June 12, 2019 Does it have anything to do with football being a much bigger priority? Quote

There is a huge Teacher/Coach shortage and this area pays very poorly. HF being one of the worst districts. Things are only gonna get worse. Next election dont vote for Dan Patrick and Abbott if you care about your kids education. Quote
stevenash Posted June 12, 2019 Report Posted June 12, 2019 Would be curious to know what the difference in pay was for the HF football coach vs the basketball coach last year? Quote
OneChance Posted June 13, 2019 Report Posted June 13, 2019 This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up I don’t see how you guys that are High School coaches do it, no way would I work as hard as you/these guys do. Quote
Coach.Shu Posted June 13, 2019 Report Posted June 13, 2019 Lumberton doesn't pay much more than HF - so I doubt this move was about $$ - just my opinion. As Pace said - three sports was too much. Quote
WOSgrad Posted June 13, 2019 Report Posted June 13, 2019 I don't know that pay has ever been any more of an issue at H-F as with other schools. My understanding is the administration and the school board at H-F, by reputation, is quite heavy with their micromanaging. Also, that who gets playing time, regardless of the sport, sometimes depends on who knows who rather than who can do what. Quote
